Lumie Bodyclock Rise 100 - Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Sunrise and Sunset, Multicolour

I spent ages reading reviews after my Phillips SmartSleep wake up clock suddenly stopped working after many many years of use. The Phillips one used to drive me mad because you can’t completely disable the sounds / radio. Neither of which I wanted. So every morning I had an annoying buzz as the untuned radio kicked in. I wanted a no frills wake up sunrise alarm and this is doing the job brilliantly. I compared lumens / lux on various models and this one goes brighter than the Phillips (and any others) which is noticeable at bedtime. It’s much better and brighter for reading by and sorting the children out with. When you put the light on it goes from off to bright on only a few steps which is better than having to cycle through 20 shades if white with the Phillips one. The build is ever so slightly cheaper than the Phillips but it’s certainly not going to fall apart. If I hadn’t read the comments here, I wouldn’t have even said anything. It’s still solid and firm! I prefer the clicky buttons to know I’ve pressed them. The Lumie lamp also taking up just a fraction of the space on my bedside table. The Phillips is huge and bulky. I struggled to pick it up as it’s a two handed job. This is so much neater and easy to pick up. I love the niche underneath to store excess cable too, I thought it would maybe the smaller size and different shape make a difference to the light quality but it hasn’t. Phillips claim the shape helps with theirs. But this is much brighter so feels better anyway. The buttons are far better situated on the front. The Phillips, even after years of use, was still a fumble every morning to try to hit the correct button. My 13 year old had this plugged in and programmed by the time I got upstairs! Very easy. Very intuitive. The only downside compared to the Phillips is you have to set the alarm every night (the Phillips could be left on alarm mode) but the flip side is I don’t need to remember to turn it off on weekends. It’s also simpler to change the time eg for weekends or holidays. The Phillips one always took time to get the correct programme. I tend to set the alarm in a morning so it’s on already for the next day. It’s one simple press of an obvious button. Unlike fumbling on the Phillips! I like the nightlight feature too - something not on my old one. I don’t generally need it but if a child is unwell then I can see it being very useful instead of having to leave the hall light on. I’m getting used to the red colour of sunset but I like it. I’m falling asleep faster. I did wonder if I would regret not getting another Phillips sunrise clock but no way! I prefer the Lumie by a long way. I didn’t need noises and radio so I saved a lot of money too. Whether it lasts as long as my Phillips clock remains to be seen. Right now I’m very happy. I made my choice based on the reviews along with my own experience and got a better product for less.

Having gone deaf, alarms that use sound aren't any good to me. I've had a wake-up light before from Phillips but I actually prefer my Lumie one, and here's why: 1. You can turn off the sound, which might be good for some hearing people. This model of Lumie light has an *optional* beep, but you can turn it to zero when you set the alarm. More expensive Lumie models have background sounds like mountain streams, goats, etc, but this one doesn't. The sound on my old Phillips one couldn't be turned off, and (back when I could hear it!), was rudely awoken by what sounded like a gong and a furious baboon. 2. You can turn off the clock display. If you want complete darkness in your room at night, or you find seeing the time annoying if you're struggling to sleep, this is a great setting. Once it's turned off, you just need to tap the light for the clock to show for a couple of seconds. It'll also display if you put something down next to the light! But that's not a big problem. 3. You can change the brightness of the clock display. An option if you don't want to turn off the display completely but don't want to have the time seered into your eyeballs. 4. The wake-up time is set at half an hour. So if you set your alarm for 7 am the light starts to glow from 6.30 am. More expensive Lumies (and maybe cheaper ones from other brands) give you a selection of wake-up periods (eg. 15, 30, or 45 minutes), but I find 30 minutes perfectly fine for me. 5. It has a sunset setting. So if you want to be lulled to sleep with the room slowly darkening, this would be great for you. Again, this is set at 30 minutes. 6. You can use it as a bedside light. Just use the plus button to turn it on, and minus to turn off (you'll need to press them several times as it goes through the phases of the sunrise/sunset cycles. 7. It's fairly easy to use. Just read the manual first, and it'll all make a lot of sense!

A little background first, I am terrible at getting up in the mornings, just terrible......weirdly during all of the lockdowns I did manage to get up early and go out for a run most days but somehow I got out of the habit, so I was really looking for something that would help be get up early again. I looked through a lot of the Lumie lamps and there were mixed reviews on all of them (even the pricier ones) but this one seemed to have the main thing I was looking for which was a sunrise alarm where I could just use the light option without have a sound option as well. So out of the box it was quite simple to setup although I did need to refer to the instructions for setting the alarm, its not very bulky either, looks nice and is actually a good replacement for my bedside lamp. After setting it up it has probably taken about 10 days to adjust to bring woken up gradually by the light, but I am pleased to report that I am now back to getting up early again, with hardly any groggyness and I feel much more alert during the day too! My only gripe (which I knew about when I purchased this) and the reason for not giving 5 stars, is that you have to set the alarm every day, I've forgotten a couple of times but I mostly remember to do it. But other than that, at this price point it's pretty damn good. I am a Lumie convert now!

Prima wekker, jammer dat er geen verschillende wekkergeluiden zijn om te kiezen

Consigliatissimo per chi fa fatica a svegliarsi il mattino la uso già da mesi e posso dire che fa tutta la sua differenza. Peccato che se si scollega dalla corrente si cancella l'orario.

Its light so I could easily pack it to bring along my trips. Effective for waking me up (I have been struggling for months when I couldnt wake up before 14.00)

This light-up alarm clock has been a game-changer in our house. The clock gradually illuminates the entire bedroom so that, when the alarm sounds, my teenagers wake up to a fully lit space (rather than darkness). This is the only alarm clock my night owls DON'T sleep through! Hallelujah!

5 étoiles car ce réveil m’a changé la vie. C’est effectivement excessif mais il faut prendre en compte que je n’ai jamais été du matin du haut de mes 25ans, et que le réveil a toujours été une épreuve à surmonter à tel point qu’il m’ai déjà arrivé d’avoir plus d’une heure de retard au travail. Je souffre également de dépression et suis sujette aux insomnies. Avec ce réveil, mes yeux s’ouvrent toujours avant la sonnerie et sans difficulté. Je n’ai pas de mal à me lever à l’heure prévue. Et pourtant j’ai du me lever à 4h30 ce matin tout en ayant dormi vers 00h. Il faut effectivement régler l’alarme tous les soirs comme le précise la majorité des commentaires, mais ayant des horaires variables (réveil soit à 4h30 soit à 9h), c’est plutôt une bonne chose pour moi. Je trouve que le prix est quand même un peu élevé car la qualité n’a pas l’air folle et les options sont minimes. Mais je ne regrette pas mon achat.
